Dan Buettner and the Blue Zones
• Studied the five longest living communities in the world for National Gegraphic
• Only 20% of our longevity is determined by genes
• Identified 9 characteristics that lead to longevity and, of the 9, at least 3 relate to
our topic.
• Move Naturally The world’s longest-lived people don’t pump iron, run marathons or join gyms. Instead, they
live in environments that constantly nudge them into moving without thinking about it.
• Purpose. The Okinawans call it “Ikigai” and the Nicoyans call it “plan de vida;” for both it translates to “why I
wake up in the morning.” Knowing your sense of purpose is worth up to seven years of extra life expectancy
• Right Tribe The world’s longest lived people chose–or were born into–social circles that supported healthy
behaviors, Okinawans created ”moais”–groups of five friends that committed to each other for life bec ause
bad habits are contagious
• Happiness climbs after 55 as long as we are physically able.
• We are 3 times more likely to die the year we retire fully than the last year we work
